The perfect pair
Building on the idea that an ultra-portable laptop shouldn’t have 
to compromise performance for a small form factor, the Z Series 
incorporates a bold new concept – the Power Media Dock™ 
drive. Featuring a powerful AMD Radeon™ HD 6650M graphics 
card with 1GB VRAM, you’ll experience premium visual quality 
and intense HD performance without placing huge demands 
on the CPU. The Power Media Dock™ drive even includes slot 
loading DVD technology, a USB 3.0 port, HDMI® -out and more. 
Paired together, the Z Series transforms into the ultimate 
workstation and can even support up to 3 additional Full HD 
displays.  But when it’s time to hit the road, the 2.6 lbs. / 0.66” 
thick chassis is always ready to travel. Simply detach the dock 
and go. Backed by Intel® Core™ processor technology, loads 
of memory, fast solid state drives, and integrated Intel® HD 
Graphics; you’ll still enjoy the power you need to tackle your day 
head on.
On the cutting edge 
For maximum performance and ample storage, the VAIO® Z 
Series features the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor and 
256GB of dual channel SSD storage with RAID technology. The 
result is quicker boot-ups, faster application launches and overall 
enhanced performance. And of course, since SSD technology 
includes no moving parts, you get a more durable storage 
solution less prone to physical damage.
Developed by the same people you trust to engineer amazing 
at-panel HDTVs, the VAIO® Z Series laptop features exceptional 
picture quality. The 13.1” (1920x1080) widescreen display 
includes an LED backlight that helps ensure a bright display 
while conserving battery power. Plus, with an anti-glare coating 
and100% color saturation you’ll enjoy a wider spectrum of color 
for more true-to-life images with less light reection.
Double your battery life
Leveraging the latest innovations in lithium polymer technology, 
the battery of the Z Series is integrated into the PC and conforms 
to the contours of the chassis oering a thinner battery prole 
while still supplying up to 6 hours 30 minutes of battery life.
This concept even extends to the all-new large capacity sheet 
battery and leaves behind the traditional bulky and protruding 
long-life batteries of the past.
Attaching directly to the standard capacity battery and by 
working in tandem with it, you’ll enjoy up to 13 hours of total 
combined battery life (with optional extended battery) – helping 
to keep you unplugged longer.
